You can use a retractable cord holder.

Which one of u bid this item up?? Has to be one of u!!!  I threw in a $40 bid early. Then it jumped to $87.  Im out.   The guy selling it was probably just cleaning crap

out of the garage and found this.  I checked out other stuff he sold/selling.  Nothing Adams.  

That DS looks odd...if it was sitting in that box the whole time away from sunlight, don’t understand how the pink would’ve faded. 

PM’d

I wonder whats new about the G&G. New formula?

Could be they changed it to work with or without water. I’m sure some would like to use it even without getting their car wet.

I'm a Meguiars fan but figured I'd give Adams a try. I'm cleaning the interior of my Ram which is very dirty as it's a work truck. The worst parts are the door panels, carpet, and finally the center console lid (I think it's pleather). What do you guys recommended to do a 100% aggressive detail on it? I seen Chemical Guys have carpet dye and thought about that but figured I'd try Adams first!

Thanks, Austin

If you need to go aggressive, you can APC. But start with least aggressive method first, then work up as needed. Interior cleaner -> multi foam cleaner -> APC. If you can find someone with a carpet extractor, or rent one somewhere, you could do that instead of APC. If you need to use APC, dilute first, then work up based on results. 

Probably take the interior scrub mitt or a light, non scratch pad and with lots of lubrication, get the nail polish off. For everything else, just a solid clean with leather cleaner and then condition it. Like @pirahnah3 said, will probably need multiple applications of conditioner to bring the seats back.

Is there anything you are looking for?  I have undercarriage spray, 2018 PS MF towel, wheel cleaner, grey borderless MF, edgeless MF towel, grey wash mitt, ultra plush drying towel.  That's just off the top of my head, I'll have to check my inventory at when I get off work.

I went back and looked. None of mine are still in packaging but they’ve been in rubber containers and unused. Don’t know if you’d still want them or not.

Anyone have a package of 2016 Orange MF towel?

What do you have to trade?

I read that as well that it was CG citrus wash. He also said he use to mix Adam’s APC with CS to make a strip wash. My question is why not just use Adam’s Strip wash and save the hassle? 

Because the cost of mixing is cheaper than buying strip wash. CS is $10, SW is $15. If you mix a capful of APC, the mix is FAR cheaper than SW.

BG has some fillers also by applying BG first it will last longer since you are putting the PS over top.

That being said after time if you like you can apply BG over your PS, it just won't last as long. However if you like you can lay down BG every weekend if you like because it won't build up like wax will. Hope this helps.

But wouldn’t the BG prevent the LPS from fully adhering to the surface? Because if you put the BG first, the LPS would sit on top and would come off faster and easier than if the LPS went directly on paint.

Yes unfortunately have gotten so far behind in collecting and just wont have the space in the new home so figured sell them and use the money these bottles make and buy a new Rupes polisher with it. Also this bottle though has been the one people online are asking a lot of questions about and just don't want to sell or even give someone a produced that might have gone bad. As for selling I would be willing to would and would be much happier knowing there going to another really big Adams fan. @ObsessedDetailer

That is a common happening with that bottle. Mine has done it slightly and the cap has never been off. Another person on Instagram or somewhere else said theirs has done it too. I think it’s something with the chemicals just sitting. 

If you do a full paint correction, you wouldn’t need BG. BG is for a combination of shine and filling in any imperfections. If the paint is corrected, no fill ins needed. So you would do LPS, then do BG or wax as a topcoat for extra shine. 

I still ill don’t like the idea of having LPS over BG because I’ve always been taught the chemical which lasts longer goes on bottom and then you layer from there. LPS wouldn’t be adhering to the paint, it would be adhering to the BG, which isn’t design for longevity.

Where are you located?

There’s  a great company here in Raleigh that teaches detailing and I believe you come out IDA certified. 

IDA certification is an exam and then a course validatation. They probably offer the validation portion and some in class studying. 

Does anyone on here want to trade a green and orange drip sticker? I ordered mine and they said it was on backorder. Reached out and now they’re saying sold out!

I’m with @shane@detailedreflections on this one. Either the tool is defective or it’s technique. Never had any stalling issues. And I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want you to use the rotary function with the 2” pads. I used it quite a bit because there are times you can’t use a random orbital with a 2” pad due to the surface being in a tricky spot.

One can hope! While the Rupes Nano I own is very cool, there are certain things about it I would like to be improved upon. If Adam's released one I would definitely try one out. 

What don’t you like about the Rupes Nano? While I understand it is expensive and more of a “specialty” tool, I absolutely love mine.

Will the orange and green "drip" stickers be re-stocked?

 

Website is restocked with them now!

I'm doubtful, but it could happen. I think I saw someone posted on the Facebook group that they would be restocked at some point, but there was no time frame given. I'm hoping they are re-stocked because I'd love to grab a couple of them. 

They just announced a restock. Go, go, go!!

I’ve got a John Deere 455 mower. I took a Rupes MkII with a MF finishing pad and M205 to the hood and see what would happen. It took off some of the dead paint but that’s about it. No clear coat.

You are exactly right! i asked Tyler and he told me that they aren't for sale.. Just a prototype and he doesn't know if they are going to sell them or not. But I agree. they should sell them. that is genius. I would defiantly buy it.

So I’m guessing the hole is for a polisher?

Man I didn't even notice. Been holding out for awhile on the led sign and or the metal sign. Shucks

The LED sign didn’t sell well. That’s why they dropped it’s price and then ran through them and never restocked.

Not the swirl killer holders. They had a round metal garage sign that was just the Adams logo by itself.

Gotcha. Yea, those were purged. My guess is they may come out with more but different size or something.

wonder if that was a prototype of a polisher hanger that didnt make the cut? or is in development? that hole looks almost big enough for a 15mm head to go thru. 

 

 

This is in the shine shop at HQ. my guess is these came after the polisher holders released but I could be wrong.

Not sure what it is, or what the hole is for.  

I believe the hole would be for a polisher. Only thing I can think of.

I cant find them on my end, they used to be in branded accessories, but gone from there, even a search of "sign" brings up nothing, "metal" only brings up metal polish.
